Solution Provider Role with SAP?

Hello,  I'm new to SAP, but not to ERP systems or software solutions for manufacturing.  Our company provides custom (C#.NET) MES, MRP and production software solutions for industrial manufacturing.  We are finding more clients using SAP and therefore we are needing to interface and share data with their SAP(ERP) system.  Do we need to be a Content (or other) Partner in order to understand what interfaces are available and how to use them?  We have worked with other ERP systems and used MSSQL, XML, and Webservices to exchange data (no partnership needed), does SAP have similar interfaces?  I find the website info on the Content Partner pages entirely too verbose to make any real sense of what our options (or requirements) are.  Any input would help. Thanks.

Hi,
This is possible and SAP have one tool or module in ERP in the name of XI. Pls read more about this in below filed.

    Hello, experts!
    Could you give me an advice?
    I'm trying to perform role syncronization between SAP R/3 and Identity Manager, but the default task definition (Resource Role Synchronizer) can't find a
    SAP resource (for example method getResourcesSupportingObjectTypes can't find resource with attribute type activityGroups (SAP Roles)).
    Do you have an experience with syncronization SAP and IDM Roles ?
    How it is possible?
    Thank you!

    May be somebody knows what odjectType attributes like Roles (activityGroups) or Profiles has?

  • Synchronisation problem of  ERM roles with SAP BACKEND

    Hi ,
    In GRC could anyone please let me know what is OPEN bug regarding Sync ERM roles from backend and is it still a issue .
    Anyone experiencing this, I am using GRC ac v5. 3 and sp13 ,
    Thank You

    Hi  Folkvar,
    There might be specific issues but as general there are very few. I recommend you to reply with the exact details on the current setup, i.e., the role setup in your landscape (parent roles, derived roles etc) and other information such as your current setup etc., Incase if you have started sync'ing the roles, post the exact error message so that some expert can guide you towards a resolution.

  • Configuration Guide Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager

    Dear Gurus
    Could you please help me with the configuration guide of the Job Scheduling Management with SAP Solution Manager
    Best Regards

    Hello Luis,
    the configuration activities can be accessed via the "Implementatiopn Guide" by calling transaction SPRO in your SAP Solution Manager system.
    In SPRO navigate to -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Job Scheduling Management -> Standard Configuration and execute the following two activities.
    1. Activate Solution Manager Services
    2. Set Up Work Center for Job Scheduling Management
    Make sure that your user has role SAP_SM_SCHEDULER_EXE (or_ADMIN) assigned.
    Afterwards you should be able to access the Job Management Work Center and to create Job Documentation or to import Jobs from a Managed System into new Job Documentations.
    The following SAP notes might be usefuly as well:

  • Solution Manager Interface with Tools Outside SAP

    Does anyone have information on Solution Manager's abilities to interface with tools outside of SAP?  I am interested in interfacing Solution Manager with legacy systems and main frame systems (e.g. Informatica).  I am especially concerned with Root Cause Analysis, Exception Analysis, and Error Reporting in Solution Manager regarding non-SAP systems.  Also, if Solution Manager is able to interface with these systems, can it access details from outside SAP (e.g. data from legacy systems)?

    Hi,
    The solution manager can be interface with the ARIS.We did in our project this interface.
    The Business process flow was defined in ARIS & synchronize with the solman & once configuration is done then we reverse synchronize the same to update the ARIS,so you can interface with legacy also.

  • Synchronize SAP Roles with IDM Roles

    Hi, i have a question concerning SAP integration in IDM.
    Is it possible to import the Roles from SAP (named Activity groups) in IDM? And how does the "synchronize identity system roles with resource roles" function work?
    Thanks in advance!
    gojo

    The job synchronizes FND Users with the Workflow directory service (plus any other systems you specify). PER is a special case, and will only be synchronized with the Workflow directory service if they are associated with a user - otherwise the records are not included. If they have corresponding HZ_PARTY records, then these may be synchronized, but should not really be used for notifications, since there is no login mechanism for the users to view the notification sent to a party record.

    Console --> repository --> Admin node --> roles,
    here you can create new role. for role here you can maintain
    1. role detail
    2. Functions --here you can restrict the particular role ,  none / Execute the functions.
    3. Tables/fields  -- here you can give access to the role Read only / Read and write, and you can apply constraints also.

  • SAP Functional consultant roles with S/4 HANA

    Hi
    in the current scenario there is huge role for SAP functional consultants, along with ABAPers and BASIC guys, in implementations,
    with SAP S/4 HANA (both on premise and cloud) would there be similar roles available ?
    we can see there is some talk about ABAP in HANA on premise, but could not find much information about the SAP Functional consultants roles in SAP S4 HANA (both on-premise and cloud)
    what do you guys thing, would there still be a IMG in S4 HANA and there will be great needed for SAP functional consultants in new SAP Implements with S4HANA

    thanks Richard,
    for taking time to clear some doubts, it will help alot,
    so its the customer who will drive this....
    if every customer moves to cloud (both HEC or public cloud) - SAP Functional consultants will be obsolete by 2025
    even if there are some onPrem, due to pre-packaged S/4, there will be very less work
    so the 40K odd SAP Functional consultants careers would be ended by 2025

  • LDAP  connector for Customer masters With SAP..........

    Hi Experts ,
    Our requirement is we have certain applications which are integrated
    with SAP Portal.
    For these applications Data sources are maintained in two different
    LDAPS.
    One LDAP (enterprise directory) is for USER data and the other LDAP for
    Customer  data(in this senario customer  data is nothing but business
    partner role oragnization).
      MY task is to build an interface for Customer data with LDAP sync.
    So here the question is, Can we use SAP standard LDAP connectors to
    make connectivity to the enterprise directory(LDAP)and push business
    partners data from CRM to the enterprise directory.
    In Standard SAP system which are standard LDAP connectors support
    this functionality?
    Please advice me and also let me know if we have any SAP notes for this
    senario.
    Best Regards
    Prasad

    Thank you very much for the useful link Martin. Anyway, there are some things that I cannot find for NX Unigraphics integration:
    In the wiki you can find
    You can download the CAD-Integration-Software from http://service.sap.com/swdc and then goto
    Installations and Upgrades > Supplementary Components for Cross Industry Solutions > Life-Cycle Data Management > SAP PLM Integrations > select the desired integration
    But that path does not exist in SAP download software page.
    Also, in the availability matrix I can find integration with several systems (catia, solid edge, autocad...) but not unigraphics.
    Could you please provide some more information on the topic?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Thom Heinemann  ,
    The following websites containing PDF & PPT docs on BI will gain u confidence :
    What is a BW datasource?What is meant by maintaining a datasource?
    A BW datasource is a structure which is created in the source system and replicated to the BW system. Maintaining a datasource in a source system is doing any changes related to the datasource. It could be adding/deleting fields or checking the flags in the datasource like the hide and selection flag. Also, if the datasource is provided in the LO Cockpit, changes can be made there too depending on how the extraction of data is ...

    An InfoCube describes a self-contained dataset (from the reporting view), for example, for a business-oriented area. This dataset can be evaluated with the BEx query.An InfoCube is a set of relational tables that are created in accordance with the star schema: a large fact table in the center, with several dimension tables surrounding it.
    In its esence, Infocube is a data container. Data containers are used as a basis for analysis and reporting processes in SAP BW. Infocubes in SAP BW serve exactly this purpose. Infocubes in SAP consist of Key figures and characteristics. You can find some detailed information on key figures here. Simply speaking, infocube is any repository which contains data. Moving on to the types of infocubes. In SAP BW, there are basically two classes of infocubes. These are:
    Basic Infocubes - These are also called as physical infocubes.
    Remote Infocubes - These are also called as virtual infocubes.
    The basic difference between the above two types of infocubes is that basic infocubes are physically stored in the same SAP BW system as their meta data description. Remote infocubes are stored on a third party custom SAP BW. Both the above types of BW infocubes consist of key figures and characteristics. These characteristics in turn are divided into 16 dimensions. More on that in another post.

    Extract Structure
    In the extract structure, data from a DataSource is staged in the source system. The extract structure contains the amount of fields that are offered by an extractor in the source system for the data loading process. You can edit and enhance DataSource extract structures in the source system. To do this, in the BW Administrator Workbench choose Goto à Modeling à Source Systems à Your Source System à Context Menu (right mouse click) à Customizing Extractors à Subsequent Processing of DataSources.
    Transfer Structure
    The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into the SAP Business Information Warehouse. It provides a selection of the extract structure fields for the source system.
    Use
    The transfer structure provides BW with all the source system information available for a business process.
    An InfoSource in BW requires at least one DataSource for data extraction. DataSource data that logically belongs together is staged in an extract structure in an SAP source system.
    In the transfer structure maintenance, you determine which extract structure fields are transferred to the BW. When you activate the transfer rules in BW, an identical transfer structure for BW is created in the source system from the extractor structure.
    This data is transferred 1:1 from the transfer structure of the source system into the BW transfer structure, and is then transferred into the BW communication structure using the transfer rules.
    A transfer structure always refers to a DataSource from a source system and an InfoSource in BW.
    You get to the maintenance of the transfer structure using the InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench. The context menu of the source system belonging to an InfoSource provides you with the maintenance marker using the function Maintain Transfer Rules.

    SAP Business Information Warehouse
    SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing (DW) solution which is one of the major enterprise software applications produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW, (Business Information Warehouse), but is now known as "SAP NetWeaver BI".
    SAP BW consists among other things of components for data management (Data Warehousing Workbench), extensive data modeling capabilities, an embedded analytical engine, a suite of rich front-end analytical tools refererred to as Business Explorer (BEx), and operational tools used for importing the most current transactional data into the system. It may be helpful to consider layers that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
    Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into SAP BW system.
    Data warehouse area - responsible for storing the information in various types of structures, including multidimensional structures called InfoCubes.
    Reporting - responsible for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
    Planning - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and perform tasks such as budget calculations.
    SAP's BI application is a very pervasively employed data warehouse / analytical enterprise software solution, often utilized heavily by companies that essentially run their business on SAP operational systems such as SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP, traditionally known as SAP R/3). SAP's BI solution contains a large number of predefined "extractors", a very significant amount of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, master data (i.e. objects representing the entity for "Customer", or "Material"), authorization roles, query views and reports all delivered in the software by SAP. Some of the significant benefits of this approach include the ability to leverage SAP's substantial business knowledge from many years of developing extremely sophisticated software systems for the world's largest companies, typically shortening project development cycles in the process. The pre-defined business content can be modified to meet an organization's specific requirements, while at the same time taking advantage of general aspects of these delivered data models and reports that are somewhat foundational and have broad application in business, government, and education.
    SAP BW is now part of a suite of SAP applications called SAP NetWeaver. Other components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP, called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e. eXchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM).
    The 7.0 version of SAP BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This new release includes many new features, such as next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing enhancements, and possibility to use innovative techology for query performance optimization called "BI Accelerator". BI Accelerator (or BIa) comes as an external applicance, i.e. complete hardware with pre-installed software. BIa requires separate licence fee.
    From SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on, the term SAP BW is obsolete, and instead it is referred simply as "SAP NetWeaver BI" - i.e. "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI".
    According to SAP, more than 12,000 installations of SAP's BI solution exist.
    SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) is SAP´s Data Warehouse solution. It has been specially developed to allow you to gather and analyze all kinds of statistical information in the best possible way. 
    The SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is a core element of mySAP.com. SAP BW is an enterprise-wide information hub that enables data analysis from R/3 and other business application, including external data sources such as databases and the Internet. SAP BW also offers easy integration with other mySAP solutions, such as mySAP Supply Chain
    Management (mySAP SCM), mySAP Strategic Enterprise Management (mySAP SEM), and mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM).
    SAP BW is a comprehensive end-to-end data warehouse solution with optimized structures for reporting and analysis. To help knowledge workers quickly mine an enterpriseu2019s business data, SAP BW is equipped with preconfigured information models and reports, as well as automatic data extraction and loading methods. 
    With an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel-based user interface, you can create, format, and analyze reports, and publish those reports to the web. Built for high performance, SAP BW resides on its own dedicated server. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and reporting activities are therefore separated, and system performance is not compromised.

  • Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

    We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
    We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
    Can someone please clarify?
    Regards
    paddy

    MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
    Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system.  SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

  • How to use CMS Users with SAP BOPC NW 7.5

    Hello,
    I have problems importing and using CMS Users with BO PC 7.5 NW.
    I am trying two types of CMS-users
    1. CMS Enterprise Users created in CMS and using "Enterprise" authentication
    2. SAP BW Users imported into CMS using their SAP authentication "secSAPR3")
    but both don't work:
    In the BOPC Admin Client, I can succesfully select Security->Users->"Add new Users". Both CMS "Enterprise Users" and CMS Users that use SAP authentication are displayed in the "Everyone" Group.
    The CMS Enterprise Users are displayed as <username>, e.g. "Miller".
    The CMS users with sap authentication are displayed as <SAPSystem><Client>/<SAPusername>, e.g. "KBE100/Smith".
    Now If I try to import a user...
    1. CMS Enterprise Users
    If can successfully import CMS Enterprise Users and add them to the ADMIN Team, e.g. "Miller".
    The problem is they can't be used to log in to the Admin Client and Excel Client:
    E.g. I enterUser-ID "Miller" and his CMS-Enterprise-password under password after starting Excel Client, an error message shows up: "The UserID, Password or Domain cannot be authenticated. Go back and make sure you entered valid credentials" ... (same error message as if the user wouldn't exist/wrong pw.).
    Seems the user wasn't added as BO PC user. Or do I need to use any prefix before the "user ID" for CMS Enterprise users in the User_ID field instead of just "Miller"?! 
    2. CMS Users which use SAP-authentication (users imported into CMS from BW and use SAP-authentication)
    In the BO PC Admin Client, I can't import them: I go through "1. User Setup" select "KBE~100/Smith", "2. User Detail", "3. Assignments", but if I am in "4. Finish" and click on "Apply", the following error shows up:
    "Failed to create directory \root\Webfolders\<AppSetName>\<Appname>" for "KBE~100/Smith".
    My guess is that the operating system doesn't like the "/" in the Username - but I guess this can't be changed  bc. these Users from CMS and are already displayed with the "/" between SAPSystemID~ClientNummer and username in the User-list in BOPC Admin Client!
    side remark: if I create a SAP CMS Enterprise user which contains a "/" in the username (on pupose ), I am getting the same error message.
    Any help, explanations and workarounds are greatly appreciated - Any solution will be awarded with maximum points!
    Best Regards and thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi Florian,
    The problem seems indeed the file system on the bw not being able to handle "/". The automatic user import from the bw role into the CMC does not give you an option to replace the "/" character with anything else.
    This should solve it:
    - Go to the CMC double click the user. Delete the server part "KBE100/" and click save. Make sure the default system is set to "KBE100". The user should now be able to login from BPC with the user Smith.
    Good luck,
    Martin
